I get an Xbox-related email this evening entitled "A Snowman Surprise From Xbox." If I click on a link, it takes me to a page that doesn't load, though from the looks of things it's supposed to be a flash page of some sort.
Could be something neat (a free XBLA code?), and could be something lame (something Viva Pinata related, perhaps?). Nevertheless, it's the first broken-ass gift I've received this year. Thanks, Microsoft!

Par for the course, I guess.

Yeah, I just got the same thing. I'm sure whatever it is will be lame...but here's hoping for something useful.

I thought it was interesting. Was kind of Viva Pinata I guess. Theres also a thing to get 2 free XBLA games when you register a 360. God Dammit. I just bought mine maybe a week ago and already registered it. Sons of Bitches.

I've got a 360 that's like 5 months old I never registered...would that work?

I believe that if you sign up for Live that it automatically registers your console.

I got the email and the thing worked for me. You get to hit a snowman pinata then it opens and says happy holidays. Nothing speical.

Here are the official rules for the XBLA points. Good deal if you have recently purchased a 360 and live account.

Also, if anyone has an extra Robotron code they are willing to give up, let me know. Im sure I will be able to return the favor down the line but I keep getting UNO codes.
